I'm a big fan of the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale so this week I bought some Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout and the Kentucky IPA. The Stout is nice. While the ale has more bourbon flavor, the stout is a more woody flavor with hints of coffee. The Kentucky IPA is a pretty standard IPA but there is a distinct flavor of orange peal which adds to the bitterness. Both were good but still not as good as the ale.

Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

Love them. Lakefront Brewery has something called Fuel Cafe, which is an Organic Coffee Stout. Very good, unfortunately, I've have six of their beers and the coffee stout is the only one that isn't medicore.

Went to a local brewery tonight called Blue Pants. Had a delicious coffee stout. I also had a bpack IPA. I've never had one of those but I thought it was swell. If you're ever in Bama, I'd definitely suggest getting some blue pants beer.

I drank the Squatters, Stone IPA, Timber Beast, Hewbrew RIPA, and Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale. All were fantastic and I'm not a hophead at all but did enjoy all of them.

none of the hebrews are really hoppy, so it's unsurprising that you liked it. and southern/eastern brewers are never hoppy, so i'm also not surprised you liked the timber beast or southern tier (which isn't really hoppy anyways).

edit: no offense intended, you're a belgian/malt drinker, in this thread, so i'm not judging so much as observing.

that's only three. and they're all mediocre on their best day. so there.

i should take back what i said earlier... rye might be a perfectly acceptable flavor for a beer, but it's terrible with hops. rye ipas shouldn't be a thing. kind of like white ipas, although white ipas might be the worst idea in beer history.

that said, i've been really trying to get into east coast beers, broth. i will never like east coast ipas, but i've been giving the dark beers a go, since it's winter and i get more into stouts/porters when it's cold. i still haven't found an east coaster that's superior to breck's vanilla porter, though.
